AI in the fast lane. MacBook Air delivers blazing‑fast AI performance thanks to the powerful combination of the M5 chip’s GPU, Neural Engine and unified memory. With a Neural Accelerator built into each GPU core, AI tasks run even more efficiently. From AI image upscaling to running the latest large language models, you’ll be more productive and creative than ever.

Multitasker. Multifaster. The M5 chip brings even more speed and fluidity to everything you do, like seamless switching between loads of apps and tabs, editing 4K video or playing immersive games like Neverness to Everness. All with a silent, fanless design.

The M5 chip features a next‑generation 10‑core GPU with a powerful new Neural Accelerator in each core, and a 10‑core CPU with faster multithreaded performance. It fuels all your demanding apps, including Microsoft 365 Copilot and Adobe Creative Cloud, making them run faster so you can be productive all day on a single charge.

The M5 chip in MacBook Air makes graphics smoother and gaming look better than ever. With third‑generation hardware-accelerated ray tracing, you get more realistic images for truly immersive gaming. And Dynamic Caching drives a huge performance boost for pro apps and games. So everything you do feels less like work and more like play.
